In search of a European identity

Come on, Poland…

September 8, 2007by Nosemonkey

Get rid of at least one of the psycho twins now that you’ve got a general election two years early. Poland should always have been at the forefront of the 2004 EU intake’s push for serious reform – but thanks to the Kaczynski brothers it has instead ended up both isolated and one of the EU’s biggest internal problems.

Whether the election will produce desired change â€¦well, I just donâ€™t know. Somehow the present government has retained an amazing amount of support throughout two years of comical nonsense.

I think lots of people who lost out in Poland after the changes like the Kaczynski brothers having a go at the Polish oligarchs (a bit like the Russian ones but not wealthy enough to buy up Chelsea FC).

And already in the election campaign Kaczynski has been having a go at the Germans â€“ they are trying to take over Europe, you knowâ€¦

That kind of crap â€“ itâ€™s populism, without much substance â€“ is good election fodder. The opinion polls put the two main parties neck and neck. And after the election will be more coalition horse trading which could last months. So will Poland suddenly calm down?

sorry but you’re talking nonsense. I don’t give a flying f*** about democracy at a European level – I want it in my country. Your analysis of the Polish and UK governments is also wrong. If you think the French, for instance, don’t drag their feet and hold things up when it suits them, you’re crazy.
